Hi,

I don’t know how networking-ovn is working but I have one question.

If DHCP will be enabled for networking-ovn, will it use one more port also or not? If so then You will still have the same problem with DHCP as in ML2/OVS You will have one port created and for networking-ovn it will be 2 ports.
If it’s not like that then I think that this solution, with some comment in test code why DHCP is enabled should be good IMO.
